Filtering and sorting: search your image collections by tags, image rating (stars), color labels and many more, use flexible database queries on all metadata of your images.Cross platform: darktable runs on Linux, macOS / macports, BSD, Windows and Solaris 11 / GNOME.Professional color management: darktable is fully color managed, supporting automatic display profile detection on most systems, including built-in ICC profile support for sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ and linear RGB color spaces.GPU accelerated image processing: many image opertions are lightning fast thanks to OpenCL support (runtime detection and enabling).Take advantage of the real power of raw: All darktable core functions operate on 4x32-bit floating point pixel buffers, enabling SSE instructions for speedups.Non-destructive editing throughout the complete workflow, your original images are never modified.I also use a Darktable export pre set of 16bit tif for use with Hugin when I make panorama's as my version at least can't handle the 32 bit floats. I'm using an older 2.9 series development version of Gimp at the minute (I just haven't got round to updating) and to export I have to reduce the image to 8bit, then convert to a colour profile before exporting to jpg or the colours get a little screwed up. I have this as an export pre set in the light table view for the admittedly rare times I need to go to Gimp for extra editing. I found these the fastest to use in Gimp. You are loosing bits by going to 8bit jpg format so set Darktable to export as 32bit float tiff files. and then just open the jpg in gimp? is that in effect the same thing? If so, very happy to do that How do I add the plugin?Īll that said, am I losing anything if I edit in darktable and export as a jpg. In LINUX itv says I need to install a raw editor even though I've got one. In windows it just features to opening with NFURAW. I can't seem to get darktable to open within GIMP with either. In windows raw files open with NFURAW which partha incorporated into his build. I'm using both 2.10.8 in linux and (using partha's build) in windows.
